What is the difference between a Porter and a Stout?  How is an American Pale Ale different than a Belgian Pale Ale?  What is a Rauchbier?

You may know the answers by taste, but can you put them into words?  It’s harder than you think.  Fortunately, the Beer Judge Certification Program™ (BJCP) has written the BJCP Style Guidelines© that can help describe the characteristics of what the beer you are drinking should be.

What are the BJCP beer styles?  The BJCP Style Guidelines classify and describe all of the different categories and sub-styles of beer, cider and mead for the purposes of education, evaluation, ranking and feedback.  Having the style guidelines available allows you to find more information about your favorite style or a style you may be interested in trying.   You can browse the guidelines and if you find something that looks intriguing, you can easily find it in our coolers or on our tap list.  Learn more about the BJCP below.
